Really LOST

Anyone who has read this blog can tell that as much as I love the channel BRAVO and, pretty much, anything it runs as far as reality television, I also love my favorite mystery, thriller show that comes on ABC every Wednesday at 9:00: LOST.

Apparently, my photojournalism professor has never read my blog though. I will be graduating in a few weeks from Towson University, which means that I am slowly withering away from a widespread disease. ..no, not the swine flu…senioritis!

Why, then, did my professor on our last day of class, which lasts three hours every Wednesday evening, choose to keep us 40 minutes late? As a bonus for keeping us, she has canceled the class during finals week, since there is no written final in that class.

If she expected me not to bitch about it, she would be wrong. I completely missed the LOST episode that night. And if I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times, that watching every LOST show is imperative to stay connected to the show. It’s already confusing enough to keep up with. I know that I will just go on abc.com to watch the rerun, but if she expects me to focus for nearly four hours when I feel the ADD coming on after the first 60 minutes, she’s got another thing coming.

Lost on LOST

From day one I have been obsessed with ABC’s hit show, LOST. Maybe it was the appeal of a mysterious island, or the idea that everyone in this world is connected in some way…or maybe it was because of the hot doctor on the island, Jack, the handsome southern bad boy, Sawyer, or the hobbit turned rock star, Charlie. Regardless, I’ve never missed an episode.

People have complained about how confused they were when they to jump into the series mid-way into a season. But this is a television show that you have to either watch religiously from episode one or you rent the previous seasons to catch up.

Stories and character’s backgrounds are told through flashbacks, which were a little hard to follow at first, but very soon I got the hang of it. I even stuck around for the four to six week breaks where they showed reruns while the writer strike was getting resolved. The flash forwards into the future almost had me channel surfing, but I stayed true.

Lately things are starting to get a little out of hand. The random acts of time travel that are inflicted upon by the mysterious island have me reaching for the Excedrin. Not to mention, people coming back from the dead and others visiting their estranged parents before and after they, themselves, were born.

ABC has insisted that they will be answering more and more questions that have been lingering throughout the show. The only problem is that ABC has created twice as many questions with the answers given.

This show has me mystified, but it also has me intrigued…so for now, I will remain an avid viewer. In the meantime, if you're lost like me, check out this video for the crazed, yet, confused fans.
